Host API version

[gswifort]

How can I get the main module and loader version from pyrx? Ap.Application.hostAPI() and .hostAPIVER() do not return the minor version.

For what purpose? The reason I ask is because is the clones do versioning differently than AutoCAD

Db.HostApplicationServices().releaseMajorMinorString()

AutoCAD 2024 reports R24.3
ZwCAD 2025 reports R25.0, even though the about dialog says 2025 1.4

I have code in another project that will pick up the exact version from the .exe if that would be more helpful, assuming they set it

I asked the question a bit wrong. When starting a new host instance during testing, I want to load the appropriate module into the host.

The goal of Ap.Application.hostAPI() was to identify which generated com wrapper to use. Now its only used to differentiate platforms. Since the generated com wrappers are gone, this can be changed. Let me know if I need to add something

oops pyrx version, I can add it to a function

Command: PYRXVER
PyRx version <2.1.013.20250223> loaded:

Added Ap.Application.pyrxVersion()
2.1.013.20250223 the last section is the compile date (2025 02 23)

Side note, I always update published version numbers in the DLL, so if by chance you need to check the version outside of cad, you can use something like

from win32api import GetFileVersionInfo, LOWORD, HIWORD


def get_version_number(filename):
    try:
        info = GetFileVersionInfo(filename, "\\")
        ms = info["FileVersionMS"]
        ls = info["FileVersionLS"]
        return HIWORD(ms), LOWORD(ms), HIWORD(ls), LOWORD(ls)
    except:
        return 0, 0, 0, 0

returns

m:\dev\projects\pyrxgit\bin\pyrx25.1\x64\debug\pyrx25.1.arx =  (2, 1, 13, 0)
